Gear Up Tavern
With Link's words, the mercenaries in the tavern knew that it was time to fight. Everyone spun around, picked up their cups, and got ready to watch the show.
Mercenaries didn't care about right or wrong. It was just a battle of power.
If Link could beat Irvan, then he was right. People would laugh at Irvan for overestimating his own power and look for a beating.
If Link lost, then he would be the classic example of pretending to be cool. He'd instantly become a laughingstock and wouldn't be able to stay in the tavern.
Irvan furrowed his brows. He was an archer and didn't like to have conflicts over such a small thing. But he knew the rules between mercenaries. If he surrendered and left now, his reputation as Eagle Eye would be gone. Others would say he was a coward. He had to go up and teach this guy a lesson.
Surrendering was not an option. Mercenaries depended on their reputation for a living.
